now a church in Chillicothe. He spread the news to his friends who
were already taking The PLAIN TRUTH. Have about 12 new PM's from this
one source!
MONTGOMERY, AL--PAUL KURTS: PM activity has picked up in the last few
months. I am counselling eight people for baptism at the present. The
local Church is growing and members are really finding joy in serving
one another through the various activities the Church is able to have.
Mr. Armstrong's tapes continue to inspire all and we all look forward
to each new one. They are so inspiring to the whole church.
CHARLESTON, WV--STEVE BOTHA:
A very upbeat time in the Church.
baptisms are running way ahead of even last year--which was a good
year for church growth.
I am personally very happy Mr. Armstrong
chose to reprint Dick Armstrong's article on child behavior at Sabbath
services. A tremendous reinforcement of what we have been striving
for.
EVANSVILLE, IN--C. FRED BAILEY: Mr. Waterhouse's visit was very much
appreciated by the congregation and the strong attendance expressed
that affection. Thanks for the continued flow of strong articles in
both The PLAIN TRUTH and GOOD NEWS.
YOUNGSTOWN, OH--EUGENE NOEL:
The Church is very excited about the
material from the refresher program, and still on a spiritual high
from Mr. Waterhouse's recent Bible study.
MICHIGAN CITY, IN--RAND MILLICH: Attendance at Sabbath services has
continued to increase. The brethren in both Michigan City and Elkhart
enjoyed hearing the update on Mr. Armstrong's and the Work's activ
ities when Mr. Larry Salyer visited in the area on his way to S.E.P.
PHILADELPHIA, PA--CARLOS E. PERKINS: The brethren are particularly
appreciative of Mr. Armstrong's Bible study tapes.
But many are
fearful of travelling at night, and financial hardships are causing
many who would like to attend these studies not to be able to do so.
The cities are becoming filled with crime and people are cautious.
RALEIGH, NC--MIKE BOOZE: The overall trend of the Work in this area
continues to be positive.
Sabbath service attendance figures con
tinue to be very good, and Bible study attendance continues to hold
steady at above 80% of those able to attend.
GARDEN GROVE, CA--TERRY MATTSON: Brethren realizing more and more the
seriousness and importance of their calling. Many of the things that
Mr. Armstrong and the ministry have been preaching are beginning to
sink in.
